How does AAS view leadership?

AAS views leadership as a skill that is developed through practice and experience, emphasizing the importance of growth and learning in effective leadership. This perspective aligns with the belief that leaders are not simply born with certain characteristics, but rather that they can cultivate their abilities over time through hands-on experiences, mentorship, and continual personal development.

Recognizing leadership as a skill reinforces the idea that anyone has the potential to become an effective leader by actively engaging in opportunities that challenge them and help them learn from both their successes and failures. This approach fosters a culture of growth within the organization, encouraging members to take initiative and seek out experiences that enhance their leadership capabilities.
